Abstract:
OBJECTIVES:Interactions of cells with their neighbors and influences by the surrounding extracellular matrix (ECM) is reflected in a cells transcriptome and proteome. In tissues comprised of heterogeneous cell populations or cells depending on ECM signalling cues such as those of the intervertebral disc (IVD), this information is obscured or lost when cells are pooled for the commonly used transcript analysis by quantitative PCR or RNA sequencing. Instead, these cells require means to analyse RNA transcript and protein distribution at a single cell or subcellular level to identify different cell types and functions, without removing them from their surrounding signalling cues. RESULTS:We developed a simple, sequential protocol combining RNA is situ hybridisation (RISH) and immunohistochemistry (IHC) for the simultaneous analysis of multiple transcripts alongside proteins. This allows one to characterize heterogeneous cell populations at the single cell level in the natural cell environment and signalling context, both in vivo and in vitro. This protocol is demonstrated on cells of the bovine IVD, for transcripts and proteins involved in mechanotransduction, stemness and cell proliferation. CONCLUSIONS:A simple, sequential protocol combining RISH and IHC is presented that allows for simultaneous information on RNA transcripts and proteins to characterize cells within a heterogeneous cell population and complex signalling environments such as those of the IVD.
